Summary
If you use an NPC Spawner in your map with a custom NPC that is IK-Retargeted, whenever you push changes in UEFN an instance of the NPC’s blueprint will appear in the level at position (0, 0, 0).
This happens for both humanoid and wildlife creatures. An additional instance will appear in the map every time you push changes, accumulating over time. This happens per NPC spawner with a custom IK-Retargeted NPC, so you may get an instance of several different NPCs every time changes are pushed.
This is frustrating as it creates unnecessary merge conflicts for our team, and wastes time and memory when they are not deleted.
